Nigerian Tribune: Ewruje wins Oyo Scrabble Open
JAMES Ewruje of Lagos State has won the 2011 Ibadan Open Scrabble tournament organised by Oyo State Scrabble Association held yesterday at the indoor Sports hall of Obafemi Awolowo, Ibadan.
''I'm just fortunate to win ,there are better players here than me so I can't just say I'm the best but I note that this tournament is one of the best I've ever attended,'' Ewruje, a member of Surulere Scrabble Club, told Tribunesports.
He advised the younger generation to embrace Scrabble as a way of boosting their intellect.
Chairman, Oyo State Scrabble Association, Akinola Oladeji noted that the mass participation at the three- days event had to do with the fact that scrabble has been scrapped at the National Sports Festival ongoing in Port Harcourt, adding that the best players played in the tournament.
''Though we are not in Port-Harcourt but we are all here in Ibadan Scrabble Open because all the players that would have be in River are here in Ibadan''
